1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous, December 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: I Want to Tell You (Audio Cassette)

O.J. really should have used a more accurate title, perhaps "I Want to Fleece You," or "I Want to Bluff You." For those who harbored doubts about his innocence or sincerity, this dreadful opus will dispel them once and for all. He unconvincingly attempts to vindicate himself while making a tidy profit along the way. In his now all-too-familiar style, Simpson indulges in rationalization, self-pity, and blatantly phony claims that he has dedicated himself to finding the "real" killer, although there is no evidence whatsoever that he has done anything about it. The race issue is used purely for convenience, as Simpson has never shown any real interest in his fellow African-Americans; the insincerity of this ploy is exemplified by the enormous degree of personal and financial success which he enjoyed as an athlete, commercial spokesperson, and actor in this "racist" society, while doing absolutely nothing to help the African-American community. It was only when he stood accused of two brutal, grisly murders that he realized that he was the hapless victim of racism. This is a thoroughly disgusting piece of trash, of which O.J. Simpson should be ashamed, were he able to feel any sense of shame. Don't waste your time on this garbage.

1.0 out of 5 stars Liar!, September 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Want to Tell You (Audio Cassette)

Yes, he sure did want to tell you, didn't he? He was so eager to tell everyone the truth that he refused to testify in his own murder trial. Simpson is a disgusting, lying murderer and Lawrence Schiller is a cretin who has made a lot of money off of other people's misery--selling his services to the highest bidder, no matter what their crime. Don't buy this book--read it at the library to get a lesson in the more pathetic aspects of human nature.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Poor Personal Defense, August 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Want to Tell You (Audio Cassette)

Sorry O.J. Your stories of racially-biased hate mail are touching. But that does nothing to convince me that you are innocent of the crime you were charged with in the respective criminal and civil suits. Nothing else in this book does that either. Why did O.J. feel he needed to write this? His innocence or guilt was to be determined by a jury, not by public opinion. His public reputation would have been tarnished anyway. Maybe he needed more money to pay for his set of "dream team" lawyers (now big-time celebrities as a result of this case). It's no surprise that it's out of print at this point.
